Bacon Wrapped Dates

Thank you pinch of yum for this great recipe. They were good the next day; cold on a hike! Easy, great appetizer that guest will woo and ahhh over...

Ingredients:

• bacon, the thinnest you can find, 8 slices
• dates, the largest you can find, 16
• cherve of your choice, 4 ounces
• toothpicks

Preheat oven to 375-400 degrees. Experiment with this; as I started low and bumped up cause I like my bacon well done.

Slice the dates lengthwise to create an opening and remove the pit.

Stuff the cavity of the dates with a small amount of cherve and press sides together to close.

Cut the bacon in half and wrap around the stuffed dates.

Arrange on a shallow baking dish and bake for 10 minutes. Turn over and bake until bacon is of desired crispness. 

Drain on paper towels.

Insert each morsel with a toothpick and serve.
